Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hybo Longdu
"Heh, it's easy to get through, isn't it?" said Madman, "Technology makes life convenient and human beings simple." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Indeed, the credit for this infiltration was all due to madness, and without his help, Patrick would not have been able to pass through the wall alone.
Although they are still in danger, there is no doubt that they have entered the safe zone.
"Yo, Patrick, Somi!"
Hearing this, Patrick saw a man leaning against a car parked on the side of the road, waving at them. The man was wearing a red suit with a black bow tie at the neckline, and his long black hair hung down and was long above his shoulders. His face was wrinkled, his eyes were more intelligent and calm than before, and a pair of rimless glasses rested on the high bridge of his nose to hide his arrogance as a soldier.
However, even if his appearance doesn't change in a little bit, Patrick can still recognize him.
"Commander?!" said Somi in surprise, "why did you come in person?" and didn't even inform me of ......."
"I want to surprise you," the commander smiled, "don't care~"
"Is it really good to be so flamboyant?"
"It's okay, it's okay! I haven't seen you in a long time, Patrick. β
"It's certain that you dare to swagger into the barracks, and the former Griffin must have colluded with the government. β
"Of course, Mr. Kruger negotiated with the government in exchange for a pardon and a little privilege," said the commander...... "Well, it was just madness, wasn't it?"
"'I' is dead," madness explained, "and all you're hearing now is 'my' AI, a replica of that genius's technology." β
"I see...... Who is this?"
"Kira Albert," Kira said to herself, "thank you so much for bringing me to safety. β
"No, no, it's not necessarily a good thing...... So don't be too happy~" The commander said, "Let's get in the car first, and talk about what is on the way." β
The red sedan started and drove out of the military zone, and the young soldiers standing guard saluted them, revealing vigorous vitality in their gestures.
Isn't it really different...... The people in the safe zone are really different from us. Patrick didn't understand why he had this idea. He could see the smiles on the faces of the residents within the walls, their hopes for tomorrow. That innocence is clearly written on everyone.
and ignorance. The ignorance that disgusted him.
After leaving the barracks, they officially entered the city in all directions. Criss-crossed highways and magnetic tracks in the air form a well-developed transportation network, and residents here can quickly reach any destination in the city. High-rise buildings are the main part of the city, accounting for most of the construction area, and there are also other styles of buildings, which vary according to the different functions and needs of residents. Just looking at the big picture of the city, you can see that it is not only growing rapidly, but also very diverse.
"Welcome to Hyperrondu, Patrick," said the Commander, "since the end of the Iron Rebellion and the War of the Revolution, this fringe city that was once a backwater has grown rapidly in just a few years, and has been called the 'Miracle of Land and Sea'. β
"'The Miracle of Land and Sea'?"
"That's right," replied the madman, "that the Hybo Dragon is bordered by land and sea to the east, so it has such a title." It is worth mentioning that the port area to the east is very chaotic and is also a slum. β
Is that so......
"In short, the credit for all of this goes to you, and all of you in the Survivor Alliance," the Commander said, "and without your sacrifices, there would be none of this." β
Is it...... Patrick looked out the car window, looking at the smiles of both adults and children, and felt a little relieved that maybe their sacrifice was worth it.
However, an ignorance was never squandered, and the feeling of disgust drew his eyes back to the car. Suddenly, he saw Kira's eyes glowing, staring at the bustling scene.
"Madness, have you found anything else?"
"Well...... The plan of Hyper Rentox is still very clear. To the west, the military zone is bordered by the contaminated zone, where the army has built a line against outside threats. In fact, this also explains why Hyperdragon has risen rapidly, after all, it is the mainstay of resisting the impact of collapse fluids, and naturally a lot of science and technology have flowed here. The circulation of science and technology has naturally led to the development of economy, culture and other aspects, so the development of Hyper Longdu is so rapid, and the investment of the Luo Lian government is also quite huge. β
When the madness was analyzed, the commander was full of spring breeze. He seems to be quite complacent about the development of the city.
"So it seems...... The technology contained in it is likely to point to the proof I need, and it's no surprise that even if it's secretly buried in the city. Commander, I'm guessing the I.O.P. manufacturing industry is here, right?"
"Of course, there are branches," replied the commander, with a smile on his face, but with a different meaning, "but the I.O.P. no longer manufactures munitions and armaments, they now only produce civilian figures and household appliances. β
In other words, the I.O.P. manufacturing industry no longer produces tactical humanoids, and the era of tactical humanoids has passed.
"It doesn't matter, the core technology of the relics is not something that can be given up," said the madman, "The government will definitely support the I.O.P. to continue to secretly research the heritage technology, and the civilian market can also be used as a considerable testing ground." We just need to follow the vine and probably get something. β
"You're right, there was a press conference the other day, and the government allocated a sum of money to I.O.P. for the development of a new civilian humanoid project. β
It's a joy for all. Under the cloak of serving the people, no one will stand up against it at all, after all, it seems to be beneficial and harmless.
"Hah, then we'll be more sure. β
"I didn't expect that," the commander exhaled softly, "you finally have a chance to live in peace, but you have to cross the line into the restricted area. β
"It's a mission," Patrick said, "a mission that only I can accomplish, no matter what the outcome is......"
"Uh-huh, my words...... will support you to the end. That's what I'm interested in as well, and I want to see it too. β
It looks like they're on the same page.
"But before we do that, let's take a break. How about coming to see your temporary home?"
The commander smiled and said that, the car came to a steady park.
As soon as Patrick got out of the car, he saw the ambiguous faΓ§ade. A maid stood on the side of the glass door, a chalkboard written on chalk beside her. The chocolate-shaped blanket extends into the door, and the pale yellow checkered brick floor is polished so shiny that it even reflects the light. When you look up, you can see a rather ostentatious cake-shaped signboard.
The sign reads: Griffin Maid Cafe.
